So.....remember a couple of months ago when my back was out? I herniated a disc and did a great job of it. Having surgery today at 12:30. My sis flew out from Virginia to take care of me, I have about 2 weeks of dinners in the freezer, and a fresh batch of chop going in there so I’m well-prepared, but any good thoughts you want to send my way would be greatly appreciated.

Related: Bumble is ECSTATIC that I won’t be going in to work for 4 weeks! And I’ll have LOTS of time to spend on the forums; hopefully I won’t get myself banned for creating hate and discontent [emoji38]

Dang, Inger!

Well, you take care. It'll be wonderful to have you around here more. I'm as happy as Bumble. Well, close anyway.

Take care, dearest.

Enjoy the painkillers...
like every other wound ...give it a minimal of 48 hours before you do anything crazy.
(but they propably told you that)


How are sis and Bumble getting along?

I’m having a love-hate relationship with the pain-killers. I’m a recovering addict and I no longer enjoy this feeling. But they are working so that’s great. Also they are making me itchy which is less great. And I can’t stop talking and I’m a little “I love ya man” but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Define crazy? LOL I’m on pretty tight restrictions for about 6 weeks and “crazy” stuff up to 6 months. I can’t even go target shooting until December!

Sis and Bumble are okay. They were great friends previously, but Bum’s a little hormonal and also tuning in to my not 100% status so she’s being sort of a brat.
